status of radio
how do you feel about radio today?
personally i think all main stream radio stations suck...all they do is play the same 4 songs over and over again...the only way to get good music with a variety is to listen to college radio or public radio.but thats just me.....:rolleyes: |
Radio's commercial, its supposed to be for mainstream stuff, but there are underground stations out there if thats all you want to hear.
Just change station. |
i agree, i know some people like the track , but plain the same damn things ova n ova is sicknin, id go with collage radio, but thats just me...

Dead Prez has it right
Turn off the Radio |
Quote:
there are no underground radio stations where i live...or in my general region, except atlanta... i gaurantee you. every station i turn too is the same... brainwashing you into thinkin such and such is ill... but when it comes to this subject... i am slightly torn... simply because, i view radio as a media that can be used to take hip hop back to its real state. It all depends on who pushes hard enuff to change the publics view of "whats hot"... you'd need jesus for that job tho...so radio at this time is in fact, a clop of BS.... |
plus i dont understand how dead prez can say "turn off the radio".... wtf
if everyone stopped listening to there hip hop radio, that would alienate hip hop as a valid form of music...and it would return to its state it was in b4 it got radio power. Borderline FAD.... we CANNOT turn off the radio....we must CHANGE what happens at these fuckin stations. |
plus WE...the underground listeners are out numbered by "casual hip hop listeners"... if everyone from MTV and the whole pop generation were emcees, we could have our way. But alot of them just want to bounce, and have fun in the club...without thinking about what the lyrics are saying...
in a sense, radio is perfect at this time for those people. |
get a fukin cd player
|
how you gonna know what cd to buy without promotion?
thats like tellin the average 15 yr old kid from Idaho who grew up on a farm to buy a 7L and Esoteric album without letting him hear it... cd players wont change the state of radio, or fix hip hop. |
ummm.... go online and peep songs and decide what you like... its not hard bro
|
bah australia has no hip hop radio stations,
we always hear the sam "ja RUle" "sean paul" "50 cent" "eminem" etc on radio.............. |

sorry to tell you this, but its easier to turn on a radio than it is to surf online and go to some site, and either pay for, (or pirate, and get sued ) someones music... which one is easier and less risky?... WHY IS IT SO HARD TO AT LEAST TRY AND MAKE A CHANGE TO WHAT GETS PLAYED ON THE RADIO? WHY MUST YOU JUST IGNORE IT AND TURN YOUR RADIOS OFF? Thats the IGNORANT route... Radio controls hip hop at this point in our generation. If you get control of Radio, you get control of hip hop.... thats if your serious enuff about this culture to actually help it! |
hey but how do we get radios to change what they play.....
letters? bomb threats?? bribery??? a dinner for 2? |
you just asked me a very serious question.. you asked me in a nutshell "how to save hip hop"...
i cannot answer that question, but i can tell you how not to save it.... ignore the radio, and turn it off...so you and your radio skeptics can bask in the love of your pirated internet music, and watch, as hip hop begins to spread even wider than it has now... sticks its root in every facet, and media type.... but it wont be the hip hop you want... it will be this wack bling blind era were seeing... why? because radio is the biggest form of promotion besides TV that exists. The internet pales in comparison. So why look to some branch, when you could attack the root of the problem. more underground artist need to start heading to these stations if they want to make a change. radio is the music jehovah, how you gonna ask jehovah to change the earth by ignoring him? |
theres like a couple underground music stations and
the shit only plays like at 2 a clock in the morning in pittsburgh an mp3 cd player and tons of songs on cds is my scapegoat cause the radio sucks...unfortunately...theres gonna be another b2k...and another britney spears...another annoying artist thats gonna blow up sooner or later...and milk radios... timberlake deserves some props but as for many others..ehhhh so with the radio off your not missing much....unless you like chingy his gay cousin nelly fifty cent and good eminem ill buy a nas cd when it comes out..might not think but hes under |
